Cn0ng snd Eng were raised up
to meet a certain demand. The
crisis came, and they were there to
meet it. Then came q time when
the world was clamoring for q pair
of buff twins united at the sternum
by means of q light yellow 6rst
mortgage bond.
But Chang and Eng were not
happy, even with their great wealth
and the fame they had acquired
working an entirely new vein.
Nature, which united them so
closely, had not given them the
same ideas and thoughts. They
agreed on nothing, it is said.
One was q Knight of Pythias
while the other was a Royal Arch
Mason, and the meetings were on
the same evenings.
People who knew them said il
was painful to see the stronger of
the two pull the other twin away TO
a knight of Pythias meeting in
which he felt No interest, or snake
him to q revival when he wanted
to 60 to a colored ball.
A neighbor tells me that while
Chang was q Baptist and believed
in immersion, Eng was q doubter,
but had to 60 in with his brother
and be immersed through q hole in
the ice.
One wanted to secede at the
breaking out Of the war, while the
other wanted to save the country
intact and fight under the starry
banner.
Those who will read the history
Of this strange brace of coffee-col.
ored gentlemen will agree with mo
that even though you strike the
popular feeling and secure the pub
lie approval as a freak of nature, it
is not all sunshine and gladness.
Chang and Eng, though bound
together through life, could not
make their wives live together ia
the same house even, and 80 they
were compelled to maintain sepa-
rate establishments, and 60 from
one to the other trying to allay dis
cord.
One of the twins was a good man,
while it is said that the other was
a very successful sinner. In case
of resurrection it is not yet fully
settled how it will be arranged, and
the question has frequently been
raised since their death whether
they will or will not jointly visit
the realms of the blessed and the
snorting, squealing precincts Of the

out Of existence. From here he
drifted to London, and the tragedy
just reported from South Africa
shows that he was attracted TO it's
gold fields in the effort to regain
his lost fortune. Hobbs went out
there last fall to look into the pros
poets of the Graskop mining proper

old JEFF" McClelland CHANGED to
stumble into the Transvaal country
is not known, but, as luck hap
pened, he became superintendent
of the Pilgrims Greek district, ad-
joining the ground that Hobbs was
overlooking. The London journal
which reports the tragedy says that
the two mon met quite accidental

Creek camp. Only . few words
had passed between them when
McClelland pulled his revolver and
shot Hobbs through the heart.

MISS BRADD0Ns BIG INCOME

Novel writing nowadays is pre-
carious and not very profitable
calling. A very fair price, as things
60, is $1,000 for the serial rights of
a full-length story, and assuming
that the author makes $4OO by the
three-volume edition, and as much
by a cheap edition, his total profit
would amount to $2SOO-not a
great deal, considering the labor
and time that the writing of a novel
involves. On the other hand, there
are undoubtedly prizes, and if a
writer reaches the top of the tree,
and is as prolific as Miss Braddon,
he can make, if not great fortune,
at any rate a handsome income by
his pen. Miss Braddon, l should
think, makes more money by fiction
than any other writer of the day.
Her fertility is prodigious. l be-
lieve Miss Braddon gets about
5000 for the serial rights of new
story, and as she writes about two
a year or at any rate three in two
years, her takings from this source
must be considerable. There may
bs two or three writer's who COM
mand as high a price, but none who
is equally popular and prolific.
Whether her works will live is IN.

newer bOnanzas. Many of then
believe the Cometock will have an
other season Of prosperity. Il
looks sometimes as if there were
some ground for hope that another
ore deposit would be found. Many
of the shafts have penetrated to o
depth of 5000 feet. But let the ore
be found and there would be nc
lack of means to get it to the sur
face. 1t seems strange that man
with Mackay's interests outside
the Comstock would give this al
most deserted camp any attention
unless he had substantial reasons
for doing so. He is not in need of
money, SO far as anyone knows.
Not in need of money! Did you
ever know man possessed of
millions who was not in need of
millions more? They wanted to
get him into the Baltimore & Ohio
deal. Suppose he had "only fif-
teen or twenty millions more" at
his service? All! if he only had.
Then the Baltimore 4 Ohio and its
telegraph lines could have been
taken into camp. And if the
Comstock would give him another
$50, 100000 or $1OO.OOO,OOO more
he might take in the Pennsylvania
system. And then having this, if
he could but get $500, 900 600 more
he might rival Vanderbilt and even
buy the Western Union! It's SO
easy to build up artificial wants if
a man only has little capital for
a starter. We're all Oliver Twists T;
We want more, more.
The ComstOck has produced be-
tween $780, 100000 and 100000
600 in bullion since 1859. Most
of this was taken out in q compar-
atively short time. In the best of

Christian Thoughts for Lent.
Adam.

The devotions OF the Catholic church
during the Lenten season recall the
most touching scenes in the life of our
Blessed Lord. He who neglects to
study this life cannot be said to be
good or devoted Christian. A Chris
tan life must be nodded on the example
OF Christ, or become deformed and
monstrous, like SO many Christian
lives OF our day. The life of our d.
vine Redeemer, the traditions in con-
nection with His appearance among
men, and the ordinances He established
for us, ought to be the familiar study of
all Christians. These, even in litera-
ny point OF view, affords us most sub
lime thoughts The poetry of heaven
and earth is written in the Holy House
OF Nazareth, and the hallowed associa-
tons connected with it. The holy
places visited by our Blessed Lord in
the flesh, the scenes of the apostolic la
bors, the virtues of the days of the her
mts in the desert, the hallowed memo
res OF the catacombs. the tragedies and
wonders OF the amphitheatre, the tri-
umph OF the cross and the subsection of
the world to the sweet Christian yoke,
all like fountains of the water of ever
lasting life, are to be met with in the
study of our Blessed Lord and His rev.
Citations to men. The soul which does
not endeavor to drink of these eternal
fountains will soon be barren of Chris
tian virtues and excellencles. With
the beginning Of Lent the church re-
minded us of the end OF our existence
in this world, when she sprinkled her
faithful with ashes. She also, in the
Gospels read III the Holy Masses, tells
us OF the life of Christ in the desert,
preparing Himselffor the dolorous way
OF the Cross, in which is our salvation.
On Friday she bids us mediate on the
Holy Passion-the crown of thorns
beaten down on the sacred head of our
Divine Redeemer; the nails and lance
that were hammered through HIS flesh
and sinews, to fasten Him to the cross
or open His side; the winding sheet in
which the sacred Body was laid, and
five wounds from which chiefly flowed
the blood in which the world is re-
deemed; and the seven great sorrows Of
his afflicted mother who stood at the
foot of the cross, offering up to the
Heavenly Father the great sacrifice Of
Calvary. All these heartrending,
contriIion- moving scenes in the life Of
our Redeemer are recalled every Friday,
when the faithful are gathered together
to make the stations Of the Cross. tits
soul-surring devotion--a practical
epitome ii the great book which re-
cords the life OF Christ Every Chris
tian should during Lent travel the way

an fares the land to Fastening Ills prey,
When wealth accumulates and men decay"
The corrupting influence of great
wealth has destroyed every effort at self
government by the people except in
Switzerland and America, and it is
threatening to destroy u Republican
form of government in this country.
"Are the people capable of self-gov-
ernment," is an ever recurring ques-
ton that demands an answer at the
hands of each generation. Switzerland
surrounded by mountains and rivers
that render it almost inaccessible, and
too poor to pay the cost OF conquest re-
mains free, and presents to the world a
government where patriotism rules
avarice and official honors are not
bought and sold in political marts,
How is it in the great American Re-
public, the grandest experiment at self

records? England threw away the

| Spokane Insured n Full supply OF Build
Ing Blocks.
The contemplated i'm provements in
the Falls during the coming summer
embrace many extensive, elegant
and valuable brick buildings, and
the matter of supplying the neces-
sary material for their construction
is one of vast Importance. 1t will
require an enormous quantity of
brick to meet the demands for til g
structures, the contracts for which
have already been let, or will be be-
fore the season opens, and as there is
no question that other edifices re-
quiring a large quantity of the same
material will be put up fears have
been entertained that the capacity of
the yards in the vicinity would be
inadequate to meet this enormous
drain. In all probability such
would have been tho case had not
one of our residents grasped the sit
uatiOn last fall and prepared to meet
the emergency. 'rhe party who has
thus stepped to the front and in
sured supply of brick to n eet all
possible demands is Henry Brook,
Esq, one of our best known, most
skillful and successful contractors
and builders. Being a mason him
self and having already built blocks
In this city that will stand for ages
as monuments to his skill as q con-
structor of the better class of edifi.
ces, he knows just what is needed to
meet the requirements Of this mar
ket and has prepared to furnish all
the brick that can be stacked up i'm
this city during the season of 1887.
Being II large consumer Of brick i'm
his business Mr. Brook last year
looked about for a sui table clay de-
post from which he could
manufacture the material that
is coming so rapidly i'm
vogue for building purposes,
and was lucky in discovering a bank
just on topof the hill south OF How
ard street Of many acres in extent
containing an ineXhaustible body of
the very best clay for the purpose
He at once purchased the tract, put
i'm the necessary machinery and last
season manufactured a million of
brick, and the ground from which
the mud was taken is hardly notice
able. Feeling that it would be i'm
possible this year to put enough
men in the yard to turn cut suifl-
